The Persian poet Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi said, “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
When I read that I thought, “I want to change the world and I am starting by changing myself.”
After all, that is the one thing I can always change, myself. I can change how I act, how I think, how I react, what I do, who I am with, and so many other things about and around me.
And those things that I change ripple out into the world and change other people and circumstances and situations!
That’s how world change begins!
Another Rumi quote is, “Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.”
I am the universe in motion! And as the universe, what I do and what I BE matters and it changes the rest of the universe!
“I know you’re tired but come, this is the way,” Rumi said. So, when I feel like giving up, I remember that I am the universe in motion!
And so are YOU!
What you DO matters. What you BE matters.
Changing yourself changes the world!
World change begins with me and you!
Let’s go!
